3D Material Scanning

Capture every flat material down to the finest detail with our advanced 3D material scanning technology.

Do you need to accurately digitize a flat material or require a detailed digital representation of a product? With our high-quality Metis Scanner—the only one in the Benelux—we scan fabrics, materials, and objects in 3D with the highest quality.

Ultra-precise and color-consistent in optimal lighting conditions.

Thanks to eight light sources and a unique sensor, our system captures every detail and color with extreme accuracy. The result is a precise digital copy of the original product or material.

Eight light sources ensure consistent illumination.

Large quantities and surfaces possible.

High-quality results at record speed.

You provide a product or material sample, we scan it.

One scan moment, infinite display possibilities.

99% accurate and uniform representation.

Color-neutral scan for reliable visual representation.

The most accurate digital copies of the original material.

Using various scanning techniques, we are able to create precise copies of the original material. We utilize advanced scanning systems to produce exceptional scans of your items. Size, weight, or type of material pose no limitations for us.

We can scan any conceivable surface.

What type of surface can we digitize? Almost any material you can imagine. Have a unique sample? We’re eager to see and scan it! The most common materials include:

Immediately usable in nearly any 3D software.

Our 3D scans are delivered as PBR materials (Physically-Based Rendering), the standard for digitizing materials in all 3D software such as SketchUp, 3D Studio Max, Blender, Cinema 4D, and more.

From architects to designers and product developers, everyone in the industry uses PBR. This detailed standard ensures a realistic and accurate simulation of reflectivity, roughness, and texture of any material under all lighting conditions.

Discover the benefits of digital materials.

To reliably represent your product digitally through renders or a configurator, your materials need to look authentic. Our 3D scans or digital materials open up innovative marketing opportunities that go beyond traditional product photography and photoshoots in terms of visual content.

Showcase the advantages of your unique material or product in stunning, highly detailed images.

Render your 3D scan in original product videos and presentations.

Create breathtaking VR experiences where you showcase your product or material in various settings.

Why scan instead of photography?

Photography faces challenges with color consistency, uniform lighting, and resolution when preparing your digital materials for the future.

Our scanner operates quickly and consistently, making it an ideal fit for industrial processes where continuity is crucial.

What are PBR materials?

PBR stands for Physically Based Rendering.
The material behaves in the digital world just as its physical counterpart would in the real world. This way, you experience a product as truly authentic in a digital environment.

What is a digital replica?

A digital twin of an object or material is an exact replica, but in digital form. The more realistic your material appears, the more authentic it will look in a 3D visualization, configurator, VR, etc. While we specialize in creating digital twins of materials, we can also assist you with digital twins of objects.

Are there any materials that cannot be converted into a digital replica?

With over 20 years of experience in photography, we have never seen results like those achieved with today’s scanner. Uniform lighting, precise detail capture, consistent outputs, and many other factors make scanning the ideal technique. While we also use other methods, we can scan more than 90% of materials.
